SHIGEZO HAMANO, OF KURE CITY, AND TARO' HAMANO, OF HIGASHI-KATSUSHIKA,

NEGKTIE HOLDER.

Application .filedJ'uly 8, 1925. Serial No. 42,135.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that we, Siircnzo I-IAMANO, a

. subject of the Emperor of Japan, and a resident of Kure City, in the Prefecture of Hiroshima, Japan, and TAno HAMANo, a subject of the Emperor of Japan, and a resident of the Province of Higashi-Katsushika, in the'Prefeeture of Chiba, Japan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necktie Holders, of which the following is a specification suflicient to enable those conversant with the art to which the invention appertains to utilize the same. The object of our invention is to afford a suitable and convenient supporting device for use in conjunction with four in hand.

neck ties, so called commercially, when worn with the ordinary double or turndown collar,a contrivance that will sustain the parts involved in proper co -relationship and alignment without danger of injury to either, or discomfort to the wearer.

To this end our invention consists in the specific combination, construction and arrangement of parts described and claimed, the distinctive feature being a collar button yoke adjustably screw connected with a tie and collar supporting cross head, substantially as hereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings we illustrate the embodiment of the essential features of our invention in practical form, although we do not limit ourselves to the identical configuration or construction of parts shown by way of exemplilication, since changes may be made in minor details, and equivalent mechanical expedients resorted to, with like results, and without departing from the spirit and intent of our invention in this respect.

With this understanding: Fig. 1, represents, more or less diagrammatically in frontal perspective the practical use of our neck tie holder, the latter being indicated in dotted lines;

Fig. 2, represents a rear view of the parts shown in Fig. 1;

Fig. 3, isa perspective view of our device, the two sections being adjusted in relatively close relationship;

Fig. 4, is a similar view showing the parts in extended copulative relationship;

Fig. 5, is a View of the parts, actual size, detached from each other.

Our neck tie holder, considered in a uniformedon the upper end of the yoke brace Y, andv engaging with a corresponding female screw thread formed in the tubularshank s, of the cross head section S, of the device, as shown in the drawings, although this copulative arrangement is not imperative, since the adjustive means might be reversed with like results in that the male screw thread might be formed on the shank of the cross head section S, and engage with a nut or female screw thread formed for the purpose in a hollow shank of the yoke member Y, this alternative arrangement being adapted to function in like manner to that shown in the accompanying drawings.

Inaeither case the lower portion of the brace member Y, is formed with a yoke y, adapted to straddle a collar button I); while the cross head section S, is preferably formed with a series of serrations s, s, which tend to prevent the slipping of the tie thereover when the knot t, is properly formed and adjusted.

The adjustability of the two sections of our device as related to each other adapts our holder to individual requirements and variations in size and shape of collars used,the parts functioning in this respect without injury to either tie or collar and insuring a correct and practically permanent positioning of the tie knot as long as contactual engagement of the yoke y, with the collar button 6, is maintained.

In applying our device to a collar and tie a cross head S, is inserted in the rear part of the tie knot 25, and the yoke 3 placed to straddle the front collar button I). The device being thus pressed between the collar button and the fold of the tie knot t, cannot be accidentally displaced or loosened, thereby keeping the tie snug against and within-the fold of the collar under all cirby a male screw thread m, preferably I cuinstances and conditions of use until removed by hand.

The use of the device is not obvious nor perceptible because, when in position it is hidden beneath the neck tie.

hat we claim as our invention and deto secure by Letters Patent, is

i. an article of manufacture, a neck tie holder of the character designated, comprising :1 cross head section and a brace section, the latter formed with :1 yoke for eneinent with a collar button said sections being adjustively united by n'urle and "female screw connections, substantially in the manner end for the purpose set forth.

its an article of manufacture, a neck tie holder of the character designated, comprising a serrated cross head section formed with a teinale screw threaded shank, and a him-e section for" d with male thread engaging with said ieinale thread in the cross head section, and also formed with a yoke engaging with a collar button, substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

3. its an article oi manufacture, it neck tie holder of the character designated, comprising a cross head section forn'ied with a female screw threaded shank, and it brace ection formed with a male thread engaging with said female thread in the cross head sec ion, also formed with s yoke for engaging with a collar hn ton, substantially in the manner and "for the purpose set forth.
